Commission adds non‑residential densities, strikes Section 251.B after debate over 2‑acre rule
Summary
After discussing a potential conflict between a 2‑acre minimum for non‑residential uses and Section 251.B, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to add non‑residential densities to the density chart and remove Section 251.B.
The Planning Commission voted May 21 to add non‑residential density entries to the town’s density chart and to strike Section 251.B, addressing an apparent inconsistency with a 2‑acre minimum for non‑residential uses.
Members debated why Section 251.B existed and whether non‑residential uses should follow existing residential density calculations. Commissioners discussed using the term "principal building" in place of "dwelling unit" for non‑residential uses. Dan Kuzio moved to add non‑residential densities to the chart and strike Section 251.B; David Schmidt seconded. The motion passed with "All in favor."
The amendment clarifies how the town will measure allowable density for non‑residential development and removes the conflicting two‑acre threshold in the working draft. Staff were instructed to incorporate the new density chart language into the draft bylaws for final review.
